do you have kiddie spas?

I have experienced this service in a spa in Ireland where I worked before @LadyDuck. It was a kind of posh birthday celebration. The kids had a lot of fun.

@thelme55 did the kids have manicure, pedicure, footspa and massage at the birthday party?

what age do you think is appropriate for these, anna?

i agree. it should be more like a treat for special occasions. you have a niece right? at what age can you see her having these services?

@hereandthere Haven't heard from them getting these services.

gives a different meaning to the word 'pampering'. also, if it starts at a young age, when does the child start paying for it when they feel like having it?

@hereandthere that'd not be 'pamperin'', that'd be jest plum ridiculous. if'n they wish to've'n 'mpact'n their young'uns life, they ought to take 'em with 'em to help the community - feed the poor, wash a homeless persons feet, etc. ugh. don't gimme started, lol.

at what age would you treat your child to a kiddie manicure, pedicure, footspa and massage?

@hereandthere I let my daughter experience nail art when she was 5-6 years old but that was the first and last

@thelme55 oh, i see. that's good.

@hereandthere a gentle body massage, a foot massage or a Champissage. Nope, just clean the hands and feet, cut the nails and paint. No getting of cuticles. Just a simple manicure and pedicure treatments fit for small kids.

i think it's quite young for elementary-age kids - 12 and below

@hereandthere But for girls, hair cut is very common and costly too.

@Sreekala hair cuts would be done at a salon. this was a flyer of a spa and the services listed for kids were: manicure, pedicure, footspa and massage.

that's okay

@hereandthere Here, kids grow up too fast. I don't like that some parents encourage this stuff - they think it's cute that their little daughters (I've even seen toddlers) are getting pampered at the salons/spas. I don't even do this stuff for myself - I suppose I have influence on my daughter's opinions about it too (she too doesn't care for it) - just as my mother never did it either. My dad would have said if I had wanted such a service, I should get a job and pay for it myself . . . that's what he said when I was a teen wanting to wear make up .

i thought it's too young, too. 13 and up, maybe as a treat for a special occasion/milestone. but preferably 16 and up.

thankfully, according to thelma, the treatments are adjusted for kids, like "gentle body massage, a foot massage, just clean the hands and feet, cut the nails and paint. No getting of cuticles. Just a simple manicure and pedicure treatments fit for small kids."
